Hello, I'm looking to buy a very nice bottle of Barolo to drink now. Perhaps a 2001/2004/2016.
Where would you recommend buying Barolo in Aus?

What are your favourite/ best bottles of Barolo to drink now ?

Thanks !

Hi All
I suggested this site to SVG as a good place to tap into local knowledge of Aussie wine shops with strong Italian selections including back vintages. I figured if anyone would know, you would.

From the discussion on the other site, think of a wine that would appeal to someone who already knows and loves Barolo, and that would be approachable even if not at notional 'peak'.

Thanks
Ian

Hi SVG,

I recommend checking out Wind Decoded and Ethereal Wines. These e-retailers have been mentioned in another thread and I can vouch for them as I have been buying from them for many years. Give them a call and I am sure they will help with any questions. Looking at their websites, they have Barolo and Barbaresco from the vintages you are looking for.

Ethereal Wines a good idea, great folks, and they also direct import some great Barolo and Barbaresco brands.
